What causes damaged hair?

Damaged hair can be caused by a variety of factors. Here are some of the most common causes:

• Heat damage: Using heating tools such as straighteners, curling irons and hair dryers without heat protection can damage the structure of the hair.
• Chemical treatments: Coloring, bleaching, and perms can break down hair protein and lead to damage.
• Environmental factors: The sun's UV rays, wind, and pollution can contribute to damaged hair.
• Improper hair care: Using products with sulphates, parabens or other harsh chemicals can also damage hair.

To combat damaged hair, it is important to identify the cause of the damage and take steps to minimize further damage.

Signs of damaged hair

It's not always easy to know if your hair is damaged. Here are some signs to look out for:

• Dryness: Hair feels dry and brittle.
• Frizziness: Hair is unmanageable and frizzy.
• Split ends: The top section of the hair is split and splayed.
• Mattness: The hair lacks shine and looks lifeless.
• Hair breakage: Hair breaks easily and is weak.

If you notice any of these signs, it's time to give your hair some extra love and care.
